Just finished The Golem and the Jinni! I have the sequel on hold at the library, but I’m on the waitlist. Can anyone suggest anything with a similar vibe that I can read in the meantime? Urban fantasy, magical realism, slice of life, myth and folklore, with a bit of romance?

I hope that’s not too specific. I guess those aren’t hard requirements, but I’m just looking for something with a similar vibe while I wait. I just really love the way magic was done in this book, the way it blended the supernatural with everyday life in a realistic way.

Also, I’m a little behind on my reading goal, so while not a requirement, bonus points if it’s short. (Under 300 pages)

Books I’ve already read that I feel are similar:

* The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
* Ocean at the End of the Lane
* American Gods
* Anansi Boys

Also, no Haruki Murakami, please. I don’t like him. 🙁
